Walworth County Dementia Awareness Spotlight: Frontotemporal Dementia and Family Support: Contact:  Jake SawyersDementia Care [email protected] August 20, 2024 ADRC of Walworth County Dementia Awareness Spotlight: Frontotemporal Dementia and Family Support (ELKHORN, WI): On Friday, September 13, 2024, the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of Walworth County will host a free educational presentation on frontotemporal dementia, also called FTD, and family support. Speakers from the Association of FTD and Lorenzo’s House, a non-profit organization focused on supporting families with younger-onset dementia, will provide the presentation. “FTD is the most common form of dementia for individuals under the age of 60,” says Jake Sawyers, dementia care specialist. “FTD symptoms are different from Alzheimer’s. The age of onset is typically younger. And it is often misdiagnosed. This presentation will educate attendees about FTD and introduce families to the amazing work of Lorenzo’s House.” The Dementia Awareness Spotlight will be held from 10 a.m. to noon at the Walworth County Health and Human Services building, 1910 County Road NN, Elkhorn. Registration is preferred. Virtual attendance options will also be available. Contact Dementia Care Specialist Jake Sawyers at (262) 741-3273 to register for the event.
